Latest update triggers antivirus block [RESOLVED]

When I try to download (via iTunes) the latest update for myCal Pro, my Avast antivirus pops up a suspicious file warning and blocks the download. Complains about Win32:Evo-gen. All software is up to date (iTunes, Avast, virus definitions). See attached screenshot.

Thank you for the screenshot!
Another user has reported the same issue, if you don't mind I'm going to send the screenshot to Avast on my false positive submission.
In the mean time you can still install the update using iTunes on your iPhone or iPad. Don't worry there is no chance of a Windows virus here, all development is done on Mac and the iPhone and iPad use a completely different architecture to Windows PCs.
Cheers
John

They have gotten back to me and asked for a copy of the file.
I have emailed them the only myCal.exe file I can find from the package that is downloaded via iTunes, so hopefully they will resolve this asap.
Cheers

I have been told this will be resolved by Avast in the next VPS update, which should be available within the next 4 hours I think.

I have been told this has been resolved, so I will mark both topics as such.
If anyone is still having an issue with Avast please reply to this post and I'll follow up again.
